3 Reasons For

Running Costs Are Low

The average running cost of the VC1310LX1 is £129 over 1 year based on typical usage levels and energy prices, which makes it one of the cheaper to run vacuums of this type and age.

Quite Quiet Noise Level

The noise levels of vacuum cleaners of this type and age range from 57dB to 85dB, and the average noise level is 77dB. At only 72 decibels, the VC1310LX1 has a fairly quiet noise level compared to most of the other similar spec vacuum cleaners that were released more than two years ago.

Very Low Vacuum Suction

With a vacuum suction of only 22 kilopascals, the VC1310LX1 has one of the lower vacuum suctions amongst high maximum input power vacuums of this age. The average vacuum suction of high maximum input power vacuums that came out more than two years ago is 30kPa, and the vacuum suctions range from 16kPa to 250kPa.

If you would prefer a higher vacuum suction then you might also want to consider the NT 35-1 (£289.00) (25.4kPa and cheaper), or the NT 35-1 Tact (£302.81) (25.4kPa and cheaper) both from Kärcher.

High maximum input power vacuums that have been on the market for a comparable time to the VC1310LX1 have weights of between 5.7g and 110kg. With a weight of 9.6 kilograms, the VC1310LX1 is one of the heavier vacuum cleaners that have been on the market for around the same time as the VC1310LX1 amongst high maximum input power vacuums of this age.

Expensive

After checking the price of 80 similar spec vacuums that have been around for more than two years they range in price from £53 to £996. We think that this vacuum looks expensive compared to other similar spec vacuums that have been around for more than two years.
